Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) c. 1920-1925
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 3.5" x 5.5"
These two photo postcards were purchased three years apart! It is extraordinary that they are finally united and tell the story of four siblings. In the postcard on the left, the two sisters stand in front of their mother's tobacco Flannel Flag quilt composed of the flags of the world. The postcard on the right shows an even younger sister dressed in a similar checked dress. Her infant sibling, either a brother or a sister, is seated in a wagon or stroller. The very same Flannel Flag quilt is in the background.
